Our Constitution is in Grave Danger

On “the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven,” The Constitution of the United States was signed.

Our Constitution has endured challenges and dangers over the past 224 years but none so ominous as now during the Administration of Barack Obama.

“We the People” are the words that begin the Constitution of the United States.It was the intent of the framers of our Constitution that the power in the United States of America came from the citizens and would only temporarily be on loan to those public officials whom the people elected and appointed to serve them.

Our Founding Fathers established the United States of America and its Constitution on a solid foundation of religious principles with very limited Federal powers

Thomas Jefferson outlined the foundations of the American Dream,

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”

Jefferson was confident that should the government ever get out of line, the people would quickly restore it to its foundations,

“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government; whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied upon to set them to rights.”

We are now in harm’s way. The dangers we face as a nation are from those who hate our successes and our strengths and from those who want to control us.The Liberal Elite are still in control of much our Federal government.Radical Islamic Terrorists are waiting to deliver another deadly blow to us, to Israel, and to all who love peace and freedom.Communist enemies old and new are rattling their sabers.

Our Constitution has been under attack for a long time.It appears President Barack Obama is now its strongest opponent.

The differing views of our Constitution during the 20th Century are clearly shown by the comments of Presidents Wilson, Reagan, and Clinton.President Woodrow Wilson said,

“The American Constitution is little more than ‘political witchcraft’ from the past, and ought to be discarded so that we can get on with the Progressive project of building a ‘national state.’”

Like Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Barack Obama does not accept the Founding Father’s intention of a very limited government.Wilson openly expressed his disdain for our Constitution, for We the People, and for Liberty,

“More than anyone, Woodrow Wilson advanced the new Progressive theory of human nature and human institutions and the corresponding Progressive critique of the principles of the American Founding and the Founders' Constitution. Wilson, who was President of Princeton University and of the American Political Science Association before becoming President of the United States, was the first American national chief executive to openly criticize the U.S. Constitution, once comparing it to ‘political witchcraft.’ So hostile was he to the self evident truths of the Founding that, in a 1911 address, he remarked, ‘if you want to understand the real Declaration of Independence, do not repeat the preface.’”

Wilson, above all others, deserves credit for the notion that the Constitution is a ‘living’ or ‘evolving’ document. As he wrote in 1908,

‘Government is not a machine, but a living thing. It falls, not under the theory of the universe, but under the theory of organic life. It is accountable to Darwin.’"

President Ronald Reagan understood the intent of our original Constitution.He concisely let it be known,

“Our Constitution is a document that protects the people from government.”

President Clinton was of the opinion that the Constitutional rights of We the People got in the way of his plans to rule,

"If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees."

President Barack Obama has a Radical Far Left political ideology.Obama has been intent on transforming the United States from a representative Republic into a Socialist democracy and beyond.Like Presidents Wilson and Clinton, Obama has a distinct distaste for our Constitution because it inhibits his desire for a rapid transition from the very foundations of our government.

“ . . . the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution.”

“ . . . generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties.It says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf.”

Our Constitution protects us from Barack Obama and his fellow Progressive Socialists.Obama does not like that.

We the People are at a fork in the road.One path leads to our increased slavery under the boot of an oppressive government that promises equality of outcome to everyone.Under such a Fascist government, everyone other than the ruling Elite would be equally miserable.

The other path returns us to our original Constitution and to Liberty.It returns us to a limited Federal government and to the opportunities of America’s founding.It gives us the freedom to work hard and to take great risks without the oppressive boot of government on our necks.It returns us to the American Dream.It allows us to return God to the public square, to politics, and to the very heart of our government.We must choose Liberty!

This is again a time for great courage.We the People must have the courage to kick the Progressive Left out of power on 06 November 2012 and then drastically reduce the size of our government.If we do not, or if we fail, we shall surely become the vassals and slaves of Barack Obama and other unkind tyrants.
